"The release of the highly anticipated videotapes of Barack Obama speaking at an affirmative-action rally when he was a student at Harvard Law School fell flat, revealing little about the presidents radical past that wasnt already known, contends talk radio host Michael Savage.
Was there a screaming Obama railing at the top of his lungs about the evils of white oppression? No, Savage said on his Savage Nation show last night. Was there a beret-wearing Obama with an AK-47? No.
Savage said the video promised by Andrew Breitbart before he died last week shows basically the same Obama youd hear on the stump today.
The same monotonous cadence, the same haughty demeanor, Savage said. If this was supposed to be a blockbuster revelation, there wasnt much block to bust.

Bell was credited with developing "critical race theory," which suggested that the U.S. legal system was inherently biased against African Americans and other minorities because it was built on an ingrained white point of view.
He argued in his many books and lectures that the life experiences of black people and other minorities should be considered in hiring decisions and in applying the law.
Flash back: Obama on picking Judges:
.."We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges.--
Sotomayor:
I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasnt lived that life.
Kagan helped Bell publish his radical writings at Harvard law. There would of been a bigger push back (imo) if we had known this before their confirmations. Obama is Bell.
Then there is Holder talking about my people...
I’d agree that this is nothing WE don’t already know. But it is something THEY don’t already know.
Obama’s far left nature is still unkown to a lot of people and this needs to be reiterated so more can become aware of it and be reminded of it.
Just laughing too hard...shoe the hug - show the hug
I've got a tape of Obama saying he was NOT born in Hawaii but Kenya, one of his wife saying he was a Kenyan and one of a high state official of Kanya saying he was born there. Anything happening with that? What makes you think your video is going to really shake things up? Without the MSM expect nothing.
Obama is always careful.
Not to be downplayed or overlooked, this is the tip of the iceberg.
The shock value is not the “hug video” itself, but a reveal into the extent of radical leftist ideology that now infiltrates our government.
IMO, the story also gives insight into MO’s power and political agenda. She may very well be the driving force behind the (arranged?) relationship. She had the Chicago inside track. (Any wonder why the campaign played her as “just a mom” or “mom in chief”??)

Glenn Beck: Who Is Charles Ogletree?
(Ogletree) edited the Black Panther newspaper. Here’s a copy of it, The Real News. OK? He was an editor.
Ogletree also attended every single day of the trial of this woman. This woman is Angela Davis, OK? She was a Black Power activist.
She was also a communist. You might remember her name. She was fired from UCLA in 1969 after she admitted she was a communist.

The Harvard Black Law Students Association (HBLSA) was founded in 1967. Today HBLSA is the largest chapter in the National Black Law Students Association. With well over 100 members, HBLSA is truly reflective of the diversity that exists within the Black community of Harvard Law School. HBLSA alumni range from Charles Ogletree, renowned legal scholar and our very own advisor, to Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts, to Debra Lee, CEO of BET, to Barack and Michelle Obama, President and First Lady of the United States of America.

I found that Barack might not be the only Obama on the tapes.
In May 1988, Harvard Law students, borrowing from Alinskys Rules for Radicals,
and foreshadowing the Occupy movement of 2011, occupied the Harvard Law
Schools deans office. The students were supporting Professor Derrick
Bells demand that the law school hire professors on the basis of race.
One of the students dressed in black and occupying the deans
office appears to be Michelle Obama (Harvard Law 88). Here is a link
to the grainy video. (lower right at about ten seconds in, wearing white Keds):

Students occupy Dean’s office at Harvard Law School
1:00:17: Visual: Shots of Harvard Law students studying their textbooks as they occupy the Dean’s office in the administration building of Harvard Law School. Most of the students are African American. Marcus Jones reports that 50 Harvard Law School students marched into the administration building in the afternoon; that most of the students are African American; that many of the students wore black as a show of solidarity.
Date Covered

Summary
David Boeri reports that a group of Harvard Law students occupied the Dean’s office overnight to protest the lack of minority faculty at the school. Boeri notes that the students held a rally for their cause this morning. Boeris report includes footage of Charles Ogletree (Visiting Professor, Harvard Law School) addressing a rally of students outside of the school. Boeri notes that the sit-in is over for now and that student leaders met with James Vorenberg (Dean, Harvard Law School) to discuss their demands for an increase in minority faculty members. Boeri interviews Robert Wilkins (Harvard Black Law Students Association) about the meeting with the Dean.

Freedom to think at Harvard Law
THE WASHINGTON TIMES - Wednesday, JULY 17, 1991
Author: Eric Felten, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Dean Robert Clark was not about to see his Harvard Law School office be turned into the Columbia University presidents office of the 1990s. No cigar-smoking students with their feet up on his desk. So when student protesters staged sit-ins blocking his office lobby for the second time in a semester last fall, he cracked down.
The students were following the lead of Professor Derrick Bell , who has taken a leave of absence from the university until a black woman professor is appointed to the law school. Mr. Bell is protesting the schools unwillingness to offer tenure to Anita Allen, a visiting professor from Georgetown University and a black woman.
We took pictures of the students in the office so that we would know who they were, and [we] told them they were in clear violation of university rules, Mr. Clark says. The students also were told that if they did not leave the office by the end of the day, they would be disciplined. They were sent letters saying such protests would not be tolerated in the future.
They waited a little past the deadline, to show they werent intimidated, Mr. Clark says. With a hint of mischief, he adds, Maybe I shouldnt say this - because I dont want to encourage them to try it again - but they havent been back.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_L._Allen
Anita LaFrance Allen-Castellito (born March 24, 1953)[1] is the Henry R. Silverman Professor of Law and professor of philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She is also a senior fellow in the bioethics department of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, a collaborating faculty member in African studies, and an affiliated faculty member in the womens studies program. In 2010 President Barack Obama named Allen to the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. She is a Hastings Center Fellow.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Obama
Robinson majored in sociology and minored in African American studies and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in 1985.[4][25] She earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Harvard Law School in 1988.[26] At Harvard she participated in demonstrations advocating the hiring of professors who were members of minorities[27] and worked for the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, assisting low-income tenants with housing cases.[28]
If anyone asked Professor Charles Ogletree Jr. 20 years ago which member of the Obama family would wind up in national politics, he would have picked Michelle.
Ogletree first met Michelle Obama 88 in the fall of 1985 when both arrived at Harvard Law School for the first time, she as a student and he as a visiting professor. As a student in his trial advocacy workshop, Ogletree says her commitment to public service was already clear.
She made a commitment to her father, who did not go to college, that she would pursue her talents to help her community, says Ogletree.

Ogletree's chortle aside, the fact remains Obama's affection for Bell was revealed before the election. It was one of many radical associations of Obama's that were revealed before the election, but to no effect, thanks to McCain's incompetent campaign, the MSM, and the stupid, gullible, and lazy sheeple.
For the time being, VG's assessment in #2 is right on the money weak tea, indeed. The best we can hope for is that it may turn out Ogletree was actually referring to something much more incendiary, which we haven't seen and which Breitbart's folks are holding in reserve.
The shock value is not the hug video itself, but a reveal into the extent of radical leftist ideology that now infiltrates our government.
IMO, the story also gives insight into M0s power and political agenda. She may very well be the driving force behind the (arranged?) relationship. She had the Chicago inside track. (Any wonder why the campaign played her as just a mom or mom in chief??)

. . . . Lots more important information at # 110.
Thanks, maggief. Great research.
You really do need to brush up on your google skills.
It was revealed on 2007-01-28 by no less a libtard media organ than the New York Times:
As the president of the review, Mr. Obama once again walked a delicate line. He served on the board of the Black Law Students Association, often speaking passionately about the tempest of the week, but in a way that white classmates say made them feel reassured rather than defensive. He distanced himself from bombast; he did a mischievous impersonation of the Rev. Jesse Jackson when he came to speak on campus, recalled Franklin Amanat, now a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn. Mr. Obamas boldest moment came at a rally for faculty diversity, where he compared Professor Bell to Rosa Parks.
Also, check out http://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/politics/2008OBAMA_LAW/Obama_CoursePk.pdf, the reading list from Professor Obama's course at the U of Chicago on Current Issues in Racism and the Law, Spring Term 1994, in which he assigns readings from Bell's works on Critical Race Theory, including the introduction to Faces at the Bottom of the Well (in addition to Vattel's Law of Nations, LOL!).
I don't see any what you think you see. That's hardly even a mention much less confirmation of an association.
